Review the information on revenue cycle monitors and address the following issues:
Identify the phases of the revenue management life cycle and the activities included in each phase.
Discuss the interrelationships that exist among the revenue cycle activities in the different phases, and the impact they can have for the organization’s financial health.
Identify tools and techniques used to improve health care finance and discuss the role technology plays in successful revenue cycle management.
Review two of the monitors and describe their purpose and how they “monitor” the finance health of an organization. Which monitors do you feel are the most important? Why? Support your answers.

Which of the following factors, in addition to income, might be considered by an individual deciding to enter a labor market?
A) Location.
B) Long-term gains.
C) Psychological rewards.
D) All of the above.
A decrease in the equilibrium wage rate and equilibrium quantity of workers in a labor market would be caused by:
A) a decrease in labor supply.
B) an increase in labor supply.
C) a decrease in labor demand.
D) an increase in labor demand.
The basic supply and demand model predicts that a decrease in labor demand will shift the demand curve to the:
A) left and reduce wages.
B) left and increase wages.
C) right and reduce wages.
D) right and increase wages.
If labor supply decreases and labor demand increases, we should expect that:

You are considering an investment of $500,000 at time zero for machinery and equipment. Annual revenue produced by the machinery is estimated to be $400,000 with annual operating costs of $140,000. The investment requires an initial investment of $200,000 for working capital at time zero. The working capital return is equal to the initial working capital investment at the end of the project (8th year). Salvage value of the machinery and equipment is expected to be zero. The minimum After Tax Cash Flow ROR (annual discount rate) is 12% and the effective income tax rate is 38%. 1.Calculate the ROR (Internal Rate of Return) for this investment project, assuming straight line depreciation. 2.Calculate the ROR (Internal Rate of Return) for this investment project, assuming declining balance depreciation with a declining rate of 15% per year over 8 years. Note: You will note that at the end of Year 8 the investment cost is not fully depreciated. 3. Calculate the ROR (Internal Rate of Return) for this investment project, using the 5 year MACRS schedule for depreciation (see Example 7-7). Note: There will be zero depreciation in Years 7 and 8 in this problem.

A new booster machine will cost $480,000. The anticipated increase in revenue will be $140,000/year for 5-years. Annual expenses will be $30,000/year for 5-years. The depreciable life is estimated to be 5-years and the salvage value will equal $35,000. Additional inventory necessary to run the machine will be $26,000. Initial training expenses are $20,000. Tax rate equals 40%.
